Apparently a hard brexit would cost the EU 500bn EUs...

It just goes to show - nobody really knows fuck all. A gamble either way you look at it and personally it wasn't just the economics that made me vote 'remain'.

No-deal Brexit poses serious risk to public safety, say police leaders
A no-deal Brexit poses a substantial risk to public safety, with police officers instantly losing vital access to cross-border investigative powers and databases, the home secretary has been told in a letter from the national body of police and crime commissioners.

In the leaked document – marked “official sensitive” – the police leaders urge Sajid Javid to immediately draft contingency plans, warning that officers faced “a significant loss of operational capacity” should the UK crash out of the EU in March.

They say that they are becoming “increasingly concerned that such a loss of capacity could pose significant risks to our local communities”, and urge the home secretary to act swiftly to address their fears.

The letter from the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC) cross-party Brexit working group was drafted after consultation with the National Crime Agency and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC). The document expresses alarm that the government does not appear ready for such a crisis....

Analysis shows voters in most constituencies now favour remaining in the EU
More than 100 Westminster constituencies that voted to leave the EU have now switched their support to Remain, according to a stark new analysis seen by the Observer.

In findings that could have a significant impact on the parliamentary battle of Brexit later this year, the study concludes that most seats in Britain now contain a majority of voters who want to stay in the EU.

The analysis, one of the most comprehensive assessments of Brexit sentiment since the referendum, suggests the shift has been driven by doubts among Labour voters who backed Leave.

As a result, the trend is starkest in the north of England and Wales – Labour heartlands in which Brexit sentiment appears to be changing. The development will heap further pressure on Jeremy Corbyn to soften the party’s opposition to reconsidering Britain’s EU departure.

Researchers at the Focaldata consumer analytics company compiled the breakdown by modelling two YouGov polls of more than 15,000 people in total, conducted before and after Theresa May published her proposed Brexit deal on 6 July.

In theory there are two possibilities.

1.The Tory government realises the error of its ways and cancels the application for divorce.

2. The Tory government loses office and Labour gets its act together.

Either scenario would have to come about before the March deadline, and both bring flying pigs to mind.

The more likely outcome is that May's (or her Tory successor's) Clayton's Brexit will not happen, simply because it is unworkable. It will be a hard Brexit., The Troubles will re-emerge, and the government will blame all resulting problems in the UK on the European Community's alleged bloodymindedness.
